With the rapid growth of Chinese language learners, there are so many more language textbooks and supplemental materials coming from China. We carefully review and select only those that meet the needs of English speaking learners. We highly recommend Live Interactive Chinese Pronunciation on page 10 for anyone older than 12 to pick up those difficult tones in Mandarin Chinese. The BookBox DVD recently introduced has been received superbly. As we continue to listen and improve, we present a totally new DVD with newer recording and menu options for enhanced learning experience. We have selected many more software, online learning and DVD to enhance multi-sensory learning experience. Please check out the Feelings posters in Chiinese, Japanese & Korean on page 54. See our new DVD selection of animated Chinese Classics like Ballad of Mulan on page 14 and Animated Tales on page 26. Enjoy browsing through our latest collection of new titles. If you need any assistant with selection, be sure to call us or e-mail us. Selina S.
